Magic Potion....
Well as a mother to three little ones and one BIG one...we usually sweat it out. NOT fun but it works every time. This is my husband's little trick. He makes us wrap up in two or three blankets and we just sleep and sweat. Sounds horrible I know but when you wake up you feel sooooo much better. I don't know if post ops can take Nyquil but that is what makes the sleeping part ALOT easier.
Hope you feel better soon....
